After almost a year of not updating my blog I thought it was time for a new post! - It seems waking up today for the first time there are no urgent jobs need doing in the house and I possibly have a bit more "design" time after work and at the weekends now. - I am working on a cool Luma-iD project right now, but another project I would love to squeeze in is my "RC Handbrake Car" project. - Essentially this is a boys toy, but with a few differences;

1. Accurate scaling of a cars proportions - what I mean by this is most RC cars have a really exaggerated look to them - I want to create a 1/12th car that looks like the real thing - only smaller!

2. Racing car performance parts - the RC technology has really moved on over the years and I want to design a car which uses these extremely fast components - the main issue at the moment is if you buy an "off the shelf" RC car you only get the cheap rubbish parts included and it takes a lot of time to learn what parts are best and to match up all the electronics, etc. - This car already has the best bits kitted out!

3. The handbrake feature - first of its kind for an RC car! - This feature is designed to make the car 10 times more fun because it can be used in a much smaller space - small technical tracks can be set-up in the back garden or in the living room and the handbrake feature opens up a lot of awesome possibilities for the driver. Also I would hope to design a controller for this car which is based on a PS3 or 360 controller that features an integrated handbrake trigger.

Anyway, this is where I got to about 18months ago... time to blow the dust of this project and get it spinning :)

The light of the education without any doubt has brought millions of the people out of the darkness of ignorance and cruelty in the light of the life. Education in its true meaning is greatly essential and important for a country.

I dont think Ive read anything like this before. So good to find somebody with some original thoughts on this subject. thank for starting this up. This website is something that is needed on the web, someone with a little originality. Good job for bringing something new to the internet!

Whether you are designing a racing car? The components of what you use for this car? How long will you need to make this car? I hope you give me an answer, because I am very interested to find out more.
